Kapolei youth arrested for allegedly setting off explosive device

A 12-year-old Kapolei boy was questioned by police after he allegedly created and set off an explosive device Wednesday afternoon.

Because the suspect is a juvenile, police would not release any details of the incident or the device, except to say that there were no injuries or property damage. The youth was arrested around 3 p.m. and turned over to Family Court.

But we need young minds to explore and be insightful. That's why we have explosives today. Of course be mindful not to explode one's body, only the mind. Pity.
